pacman via pacstrap
by lacsaP Patatetom 14 Nov '23

hi, I use `pacstrap -U` to install locally forged packages in a dedicated folder. this dedicated folder already contains some files and some of these files are causing problems for `pacstrap -U` (eg. `pacman -U`). i'd like to be able to use `--overwrite` option and pass it from `pacstrap`. is it possible to pass options to `pacman` via `pacstrap` ? regards, lacsaP.

How to handle .htaccess Invalid Hash on each Nextcloud Upgrade?
by David C. Rankin 27 Oct '23

27 Oct '23

Devs, David, All, I've now gone though 3 Nextcloud updates since a fresh install 27.0.2* and having resolved all config notices/warnings in the "Administrator settings" "Overview" check. Every update there are a few changes to the /etc/webapps/nextcloud/.htaccess file that are provided in the .htaccess.pacnew file. Each time to remain current you incorporate anything new in the .htaccess.pacnew file with the config changes necessary for the Arch install detailed in the wiki. Additional changes are needed if you server your nextcloud install from a /nextcloud subdirectory. The problem is each time you modify /etc/webapps/nextcloud/.htaccess, nextcloud will flag the file with an Invalid Hash due to the changes. There is no simple occ command to tell nextcloud "Yes, I changed the .htaccess file it's fine". Instead, you have to go through an elaborate process to have nextcloud update the stored hash with: 1. upgrade as normal with pacman, 2. check and update /etc/webapps/nexcloud/.htaccess with additions in .htaccess.pacnew 3. occ upgrade 4. login and go to "Administrator settings". The "Overview" check will fail complaining about an Invalid Hash for the .htaccess file. 5. Edit /etc/webapps/nexcloud/config/config.php and add "'integrity.check.disabled' => true,", invoke the "Overview" check again, let it fail, choose the "Rescan" link. That will rescan the files updating the integrity hash for the .htaccess. 6. Log out/in and remove the "'integrity.check.disabled' => true," additiong to config.php (I haven't confirmed whether log in/out before removing the "'integrity.check.disabled' => true," is necessary. Rescan with the line set and then removing should be sufficient) Where should this config issue be handled, or is this just the routine you have to go through each there is a nextcloud update? It's not a nextcloud issue, the additions to the .htaccess that prevent using the .htaccess supplied are Arch specific. It's not a one-size-fits-all Arch issue either because the server can either be installed in the document root (as your only served app) or served out of the /nextcloud subdirectory existing alongside your other web offerings. But, the changes to .htaccess and the resulting [Invalid Hash] issue on upgrade are specifically Arch unique. Is this something that Arch could patch the "occ upgrade" script to handle? Or is this a "just the way it is" issue? Other than this one little nit, the nextcloud server upgrades are flawless. Thoughts? -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

The systemd boot instruction just after bootctl install could probably use an addition. When I tried this yesterdy it was successful but the random seed generated by bootctl install was flagged as a security problem since permissions on that file I think were world writeable. One or more chmod commands in those instructions to get permissions set correctly I think will help. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.

Wiki - dark-mode not working in Firefox and the 2022 templates, switching to 2010 template it is fine
by David C. Rankin 18 Oct '23

18 Oct '23

All, Just a note on the wiki. Attempting to change to dark-mode failed with the new 2022 templates. Going to my preference and changing the Appearance to use to prior (old) 2010 templates, then dark-mode immediately started working fine. Not sure what else to check. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.

Dependencies of Kate and Sonnet5
by Shalok Shalom 17 Oct '23

17 Oct '23

Kate (the editor) has the option to spellcheck, and uses one of the Sonnet backend for that. It is not mentioned in the deps, not even in optdeps. Then, Sonnet itself also misses a lot of the possible backends, namely nuspell and enchant, two of the most advanced. Kate itself does also miss threadweaver, but this is not used yet by any other KDE application, so I guess we just dont use that yet. It is already used by other distrubutions, though.Thanks ------- Forwarded Message ------- Von: Shalok Shalom <shalokshalom(a)protonmail.ch> Datum: Am Dienstag, 17. Oktober 2023 um 6:55 vorm.

php-legacy--8.1.23-2 unable to load apcu.so

Hi, after upgrading php-legacy, php-legacy-fpm, php-legacy-gd, php-legacy-pgsql and php-legacy-sqlite (8.1.23-1 -> 8.1.23-2) I get the following error in the log file: php-fpm-legacy[24175]: [14-Oct-2023 17:15:49] NOTICE: PHP message: PHP Warning: PHP Startup: Unable to load dynamic library 'apcu.so' (tried: /usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu.so (/usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu.so: undefined symbol: php_strlcpy), /usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu.so.so (/usr/lib/php-legacy/modules/apcu.so.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory)) in Unknown on line 0 Downgrading to 8.1.23-1 helped getting my server back online. Is there an upgrade to php-legacy-apcu (currently 5.1.22-6) in the pipeline that has not yet landed on the mirror I use? Does this package need to be rebuilt? Thanks, Uwe
